What Will the Houston Rockets’ Starting Lineup Look Like?

Looking at the roster for the Houston Rockets, it’s almost impossible to tell what the starting lineup will be. Particularly in the backcourt. Fred VanVleet could return and be a starter, limiting Amen Thompson’s ball-handling duties and pushing him back to a wing role.

Or VanVleet could be sidelined to start the season, as speculated on Roundtable. Even if he’s healthy and ready to play, that doesn’t automatically mean he’ll be a starter. Especially if he’s not playing in back-to-backs, that could just throw a team’s rhythm off too much.
